I’m not much on snakes–I do photograph them on occasion but don’t often post them. This one was sunning just off the boardwalk; Ted had identified him as poisonous.

Unfortunately I didn’t see the Damselfly until looking at the pictures on my computer.

If I had, we’d be looking at a closeup of the insect on those interesting scales…

instead of just a blip of blue on the snake.

Nice ones. I didn’t see the damselfly until later either.
Thanks!
Great looking Cottonmouth!
And you did it again ! Lucky damselfly… not to be eaten by the snake.
😁 it probably happens more often than we actually notice!
I think this is a good distance for viewing the damselfly…in this instance.
🐍 Yup!
